...but Nickelodeon wants me to be happy! After years of pining, they have looked into my heart, and made all my dreams come true. Here, look at this letter they sent me:
Dear Mahayana,
We know what you love. You love women, and you love badassery, and you love martial arts and epic cinematography and philosophical brooding. So we made this for you!
Avatar: Legend of Korra.
The fact that she is the reincarnation of a sweet, little heart of a zen boy should only sweeten the deal. We know you liked Aang. But we know you will LOVE Korra. Because we gave her awesome shoulders. And a tan. You like tans, right? Did we mention the epic martial arts scenes involving FIRE and WATER and BADASS CINEMATOGRAPHY. WITH COMPETENT WOMEN FIGHTING.
We know you like competent women. And look! No fanservice! Aren't we amazing?
You can thank us later. Yes, yes. We love you too.
<3
